Snow 2007

Recommended Posts

Just wondering who has been this season or going this season, where did you go? And was it good?

Im off to NZ (queenstown) on the 6th aug for 7nights with 2 other mates. Never been to NZ so hoping I will have a awesome time providing my left knee holds up. I had a knee reconstruction (ACL) in may 2005 and iv snowboarded for 3 days on it last year.

Fingers crossed and I cant afford to hurt my self and have any time off work.

Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Cordrona are all pretty good. Your going during the best fall times so its should be really good.

The food there is awesome and its real easy to get around.

Have a blast.

Yeah Derek im heading to Coronet Peak for the 7 days. We had a option of night skiing at Remarkables but one of my mates didnt want to. Whats the night life like in Qeenstown? any tips on places we should go out to?

Id love to goto NZ for a boarding holiday. (coz i cant afford Japan or Canada)

I was keen to go this year but I scored free accommodation and ski pass for thredbo this year!! WOHOO!!

Let us know how it goes Gaz!

Craigy Japan is on my list to do as well as canada.

Me and PJ were over in Banff canada last year backpacking so I had no money to board plus wasnt sure my knee would hold up. Didnt want to come home in cast

I'm heading over to perisher next week with a group of about 40 people. Should be a blast. Only going to be on the mountain for about 3 days (Tuesday to Thursday) but oh well, can't complain, some snowboarding is better than no snowboarding!

I usually go down to falls creek just over the victoria border, about 9 hours drive from sydney but worth it. Always good snow, and you can stay on the slopes with a few mates in your own apartment for the same price it costs to stay in jindabyne in nsw.

Throw your gear on and board down to the lifts, then board back to the apartment when you are finished, no driving back down to jindabyne.

Great board parks as well, last year they had a short american school bus dug into the snow that you could jump or slide / grind over, cranking tunes out of it to.

But i Rang ripcurl and they said there in no australian release set for these yet. They can be brought in Europe tho.

Something like that would be awesome, although it doesn't give you much freedom of movement..

It was to much of a hassle to hold the camera as long as you remember to keep it straight, it was a Samsung Miniket Weatherproof camera, small flash memory.. Crappy little thing.. It did the trick though, the battery didn't like the sub-zero temps though..

I actually prefer holding the cam freely, as it allows more interesting shots, did you notice me crashing while filming? Ouch.. that hurt..

Remember to keep your eyes on the piste, but visualize the camera image..

I was in Perisher Boarding on the 14th & 15th of July, It was the 1st time i've been to perisher and it was crazy. I went to Queenstown in September last year and this blew it away, But it was a crap time of the season when i went to NZ they had their last snow fall aweek before we got there. I'm going to Thredbo next month so hopefully the season stay's this good.
